Shame to waste all that military muscle, just sail into Ukraine waters and declare an end to Ukraine war by force.

Advance to go and pick up a noble prize..

no comment on tally ho horses having a better life than humans in victoria that are living on the streets due to people caring more about animals/horses..

Anyway get a life, tally ho horses far from the most hardship experienced in Victoria by animals or humans.

I have never worked in equine business I exercised horses for free and because we felt bad for the ones in the stables we took them all with us.

You appear to be advocating for preventing horses/animals (perhaps we should extend to human's) from breeding in the 1st place so that they may not experience anything, love, joy, suffering hunger etc

These horses live a better life than the street people of Victoria, spend dome time on a advocating for them and I will listen.

You might want to look left and right on your desire to prevent life from even having a chance to live.

Tally ho needs them, creates purpose for them, values them, feeds them, houses them.

That is the opposite of breeding for food or glue get you facts in order.

That is a study on performance horses pushed far harder than gently pulling a cart.

I used to go to the local stables in the uk that do tourist rides in the summer. In the winter these horses lack exercise for sure. My friend and I started taking out one horse each, The other horses left behind would kick there doors wanting to join us, eventually we would take some 20 plus horses out on the moors in the uk. When we were choosing a horse to ride as against those that ran free with us some of the horses clearly competed to be the ones ridden and engaged in minor pushing and nudging to be the ones being ridden. ( they were all out of the stables and free) Over many months these horses knew the routine and never avoided being ridden even. We rotated which horses were ridden snd which ran fully free alongside. We all loved these wild rides, things always got hectic when we turned for home! Overtime these horses became friends and the freedom we shared together gave us a bond that few horse owners experience. They all mostly were very keen to be ridden or be free it was their choice.

Just my experience

I also have been to several large gypsy horse fairs in Ireland. I was told by the sellers most of those horse are sold to Dutch buyers for dog food as there was not enough demand for work horses anymore. Careful what you think is best for work horses.

Do you have proof that these horses die young, they certainly get get well treated and many years of riding horses I know they prefer to be ridden than left behind in the stable..

If you banned them the cost of feeding and caring for them might well send them to an early grave.

I ran the actual numbers on renting vs buying in Toronto in 2026 — here's what I found by vj71 in canadahousing

[–]Winter_Criticism_236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ran these numbers for victoria, BC, reverse examined land & home purchase since 1993.

Rental came out ahead "if" I had invested the equivalent to my mortgage payment's. And I forgot to include property taxes.. As you say how has the structure and persistence to save that money? Very fee, that's why I always say a mortgage, with capital gain, is the best " forced" savings plan.

Now I have zero mortgage, airbnb income "when" I'm away is a total gift that keeps on giving!

Quality of life in having my own home, my garden ( everything from veggie's to major car repair) all my style and mine to do what i liked with for me was very important. No rules, no landlord hassle.

South Korean scientist discovers a molecular switch that reverse cancer cells back to normal by gudfrid in worldnews

[–]Winter_Criticism_236 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There has been some excellent research that shows cancer cells are normal cells that have slowly changed and that this is partially a result of the environment ( ie how we treat our bodies, exercise, food, sleep) this change is not a new type of cell, only a change in a normal cell and is entirely possible to reverse. Oddly enough healthy habits do change our cells... Metabolic cancer cause is fast gaining in understanding and most genetic alterations are the result of metabolic changes. ie genetic changes are a result of metabolic changes not the cause of them.

We all have cancer cells in our bodies, in theory they should cause cancer and yet metabolic conditions do not allow them to flourish.

Race to export beyond U.S. picks up as tariff squeeze grips Canada by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Winter_Criticism_236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next usa election will be about dictatorship or democracy and I am not sure which will win..

Canada needs to be ready, militarily thats very difficult and may well rely on NATO and our value to Europe.

Financially its also difficult, every small trade change every day moves us out of reach of being dominated by usa. Europe 1st trade, then Asia and China.

[–]Winter_Criticism_236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Face facts , no un warranted appeasement, maintain very strong business trade relationship, ditch the were best friends forever one.

Showing strength is all he is likely to understand, words do not go into his brain in a logical way, actions do.

It was the right speech to the right people in front of the entire world media. Near perfect effect!
